Unable to view all packages in Package Manager.

For some reason, the Package Manager window doesn't list all the available packages. I've had this issue for the past few weeks.

I initially attributed it to an issue with the Update Server (was getting a message saying "Couldn't connect to the update server" on checking for updates), but it persists even when the connection is proper.

I'm currently on Unity 2018.2.0f2 on MacOS High Sierra. This issue was present for me in 2018.1.4 and 2018.1.6 as well.

I'm attaching a screenshot of the listed packages currently under All. Note that packages like AR Foundation are missing.

Edit: The issue persists even after a clean install of Unity (deleting cache, etc)

I will add to this question by expanding on that list of missing packages... I have nearly 500 packages that I downloaded from the Asset Store and if this is supposed to list "All packages" then why am I not seeing my 500 packages but only a handful?

Looking at that list form the screenshot, now that TextMeshPro gives me loads of "This class already exists" errors when I install it directly via the asset store I am assuming TextMeshPro now HAS to be installed via this and can, for all sense and purposes be removed from the Asset Store now... but looking at that list, nothing from the Asset Store is actually listed there so if this package manager doesn't support Asset Store packages then what exactly constitutes "All packages" ?

Hi,

For comparison, I'm attaching another screenshot showing the full list which normally is displayed. This is taken from another system running Unity 2018.2 on MacOS High Sierra. The same list appears in the others as well, except mine.

In Version 2018.3.2f1 I had to do the following to get more packages to appear.

1. Window -> Package Manger
2. Click the drop-down on the left top corn and select All Packages
3. Click the Advanced drop down in the top right corner and click Show preview packages
4. Click OK/Yes on the popup window that displays

Talked to my ISP, they confirmed that there was a problem with my internet connection.

Everything works fine now.

Hi,

I am having a similar issue.
It seems to got stuck at loading packages.

Here's a list of things I've tried so far:
1.Reboot windows
2.Allowing anything related to unity in firewall settings(it had few blocked)
3.Remove(also tried removing all unity cache files, and later, removing anything related to unity in my computer) and Re-Install unity(Also tried different versions, including beta)
4.Running setx UNITY_NOPROXY localhost,127.0.0.1 on command prompt
5.Creating a new project
6.Download some packages from github and trying "add package from disk" option in upm
7.Editing project manifest file.
8.When I open an example project with packages included, I can see those packages in upm

None of them worked after all.

I opened a ticket in bug reporter and now I am waiting for a respond.

PS: OK. I think I finally got it working for now by copying library and manifest file from an example project made by unity into my project.It still tries to load packages tho.

I will post if I find a permanent solution.

EDIT: Turns out it is a connection issue, problem persists, but I managed to get it work by connecting to another network. I am still searching for a solution, I will edit this later.

UPDATE: Package manager works flawlessly when offline, but it tries to load packages forever if I connect to a network, hmm.
